Have you enabled booting from dvd in bios, and made it the first device in the list in the boot order?

You may want to try tapping the "C". &/or "D" key when booting as some computers need to be forced.

Hello zekerknigh, welcome to Seven Forums!



You may also need to do a wipe (secure erase) to the Hard Disk Drive (HDD) to have the best space to install Windows 7 to, just be sure to make back-ups of your data to an external source first as this process over-writes all data on the entire HDD; have a look at this tutorial at the link below and be sure to post back with any further questions you may have and to keep us informed.

This tutorial at the link below will show you how to set it to boot first from the CD ROM.
